Previous year's screenings of classic sci-fi on the 3rd? 4th? largest screen on
the west coast, Seattle's Cinerama theater have been good... but never this good. No need to get too hyperbolic or hyper-expositive on this one
as it's
basically self-evident what's going on here. Nonetheless, I feel
I should point
out that all of these are at least 35mm prints, with
some (like "2001"!) being
70mm and when, if ever, in your life will you
get a chance again to witness
Tarkovsky's "Solaris", Lynch's "Dune", Gilliam's "Brazil" or even the classic
piece of 70's interstellar bummer-times "Silent Running" on this quality a
screen/soundsystem? Never. That's when. Check that list of films!: 2001:
A Space Odyssey (70mm) • Barbarella • Brazil • Clockwork Orange • Close Encounters Of The Third Kind • Dune • E.T. • Flash Gordon • Forbidden Planet • Ghostbusters • Mad Max • Matrix • Metropolis (w/ The
Alloy Orchestra) • Omega Man • Planet Of The Apes • Road Warrior •
Silent Running • Solaris • Soylent Green • Star Trek 2 • Terminator • THX 1138 • Tron (70mm) • War Of The Worlds

Documenting adventures in explorative modern music, film, visual art, architecture, design and performance. Regardless of genre, class or style. Essentially thoughts, reflections and criticism on non-commercial contemporary artforms that come to my attention. Either through witnessing them here in my home city, while traveling abroad, or the journalistic work of others. As well as occasional interjections of existential, experiential, cultural or political enthusiasms and consternations that may crop up along the way. ie; Life.
